"I have been involved with startups for many years as an advisor, entrepreneur and investor. I joined The Fourth Effect as it seemed to have strong female founders and a fantastic mission to advocate for more women board seats. Because of this community I met the founder of a AI/ML/Data Science startup. I signed on as a board member very quickly and happily.”

“It is not an exaggeration to say that Kat and Breen have carefully curated the best days of my entrepreneurial life in the last three years. I am also a Professor and as a former Conference chair at a “Big Ten” university for a large organization of Black women professors. I regularly attend events of this kind. The Fourth Effect’s events are different. The programming is very carefully curated to facilitate warm introductions for underrepresented founders like myself. We need a similar event for Black women professors who found companies - I am already planning. Thanks for leading the way!”
